03 Address Confidentiality Program (ACP)

FAA1.A Background and Introduction : 03 Address Confidentiality Program (ACP)

Address Confidentiality Program (ACP)

(10/01/12 - 12/31/12)

The Address Confidentiality Program (ACP) was signed into law in April 2011 by the Arizona Legislature. It provides a way to prevent abusers and potential abusers from locating survivors through public records. Those qualified for ACP are victims of the following:

●Domestic Violence

●Sexual Offenses

●Stalking

The ACP is maintained by the Arizona Secretary of State. This program provides two critical services:

●A legal substitute mailing address. State and FAA government agencies are required to accept the substitute address as verification of their lawful address of record.

●A mail forwarding service. The ACP participant’s mail is sent to the substitute address. ACP staff receives the participant’s mail and forwards it to the actual confidential address.
